[ It's some hours past dawn, that Gilia awakens screaming in her dream in the farmhouse. Such a thing is common enough to her. She must tell someone, as she used to whisper it to her brother, but now?

No, she reaches for her phone, now. Not that the shot is clear, just the edge of her hair skewed out of its sleeping cap, her thin dress clinging to her.

Must tell them everything she can before the edges of it fade, so much as they are never clear to begin with. ] β€” Snapped! οΌ³ο½Žο½ο½ο½ο½…ο½„!
